This is pretty easy with Camlp4, although as you say there isn't much in the docs to point the way. You might take a look at how orpc does it--see the parse_type function in http://code.google.com/p/orpc2/source/browse/trunk/src/generator/parse.ml (I'm going to cover using Camlp4 in this way on the blog I posted yesterday, but not for another week or two.) You might also look at some other Camlp4-based serialization tools, like bin-prot/type-conv at http://www.ocaml.info/home/ocaml_sources.html Jake
